"This is a regime whose leaders are capable of anything. They're capable of stealing elections. They're capable of lying us into a war. They're capable of letting a whole major U.S. city drown... and then do nothing about it, to this very day. They're capable of outing a crucial CIA officer who was tracking Weapons of Mass Destruction that were headed for the United States.
What is it that they would not do?
Now, I don't say this because I want people to freak out or stay home and lock the door. On the contrary, I say this because it's crucial for us all to keep our heads, and have our eyes wide open. If these things take us by surprise, we are that much more vulnerable to being manipulated, pushed around... maybe with fatal consequences.
If however, we can be well aware of the nature of the people in charge, and not be surprised by the steps they take, we'll be strengthened by that kind of preparation, and, we'll be able to resist.
And at this point, resistance is something that we should all be thinking about very seriously."
